Madonna, meh

So, I went to my first Madonna concert last week. I was excited, I had heard she puts on an amazing show. Julia, Jana, Trish and I met up at union station just before the concert started at 8pm. We had tickets up in the 300s. But, when we got there, they were actually pretty good. We were kind of straight on to the stage. While we were waiting for the show to start we were checking out the audience. There were some drunk women everywhere! It was crazy. We were having great time watching everyone. About 8:15/8:30 a DJ came out and got everyone pumped up. That was good, but then... nothing for a good hour. It was crazy. The DJ was pretty good and the vibe was good but then he left the stage and we waited for over an hour for Madonna, so all the good vibes went away. I was not impressed. It reminded me of the SARS concert, when AC/DC had an amazing set and then The Rolling Stones made everyone wait for over 45 mins (which doesn't seem like long until you've been at the event for over 12 hours). I was annoyed!

Finally the concert started. The screens and the video were phenomenal! It was crazy how good the production value was on the stage. There she was on a thrown. It was impressive. But, there was something missing from the performance. I'm really glad I went, but it wouldn't even make my top ten concerts of all time. Now, granted, I'm been some pretty phenomenal concerts. But, I don't think it was even as good as New Kids on the Block. I had a lot more fun at that concert (not that it is in my top 10 either).

The most fun I had: was after the concert was done and Holiday came on over the speakers and Julia and I were dancing in the stands. That was fun.
